Birds

Saturday was just a rainy day from sunrise to sunset.  We spent a few minutes in the morning sitting on the porch watching the rain and suddenly a hummingbird appeared at the feeder.  Wouldn't it be like Honey I Shrunk the Kids with giant balls of water knocking these guys out of the sky?

Either they are quick enough to evade the water in the sky or it just doesn't bother them.   In this first photo you can see some small drops of water on the top of head, in front of his eyes.  Also a few beads of water remain on his beak.

This butterfly bush is also next to the feeder.  When the hummingbirds patrol the area around the feeder they often sit among these flowers.

The butterfly bush is a favorite of hummingbirds butterflies but they usually come around on sunny days.
